Eastercon write up will come soon, but following on from a comment a few posts ago — happy Easter! And in general celebration I do indeed give you an Easter Egg, being deleted scenes from Heirs of the Blade. In the original version there was quite a digressive subplot near the beginning involving Tynisa, Gaved and an old enemy, but it proved too long and too irrelevant, and had to go. It can't really be reinserted, because other scenes got moved around to cover, but here for the first time is the lost sequence from Heirs, presented for your hopeful enjoyment but probable general bemusement.

You should expressly not read this if you haven't actually read Heirs as that would be both a serious spoiler and very confusing.
